Dr. Wei- Hier, an exceptionally gifted violinist, accompanied by Miss Maud Nelson at the piano, rendered several selections which found favor among radio fans, judging from the number of phone calls and te'egrams received after the program had been completed.

PHYSICAL TRAINING BEGINS NEXT WEEK Lockers Are Up and Gym Suits Have Arrived. Physical education classes, after manydelays occasioned by the installment of necessary equipment, are destined to commence active work at an early date, probably next week. The lockers are now set up and the gym suits havejust arrived. The air of anticipati n which has pervaded the atmosphere now will probably be crystallized into genuine joy by the announcement of Coach Walker in reference t" this interesting branch of education. Coach Walker says that the students coming out for physical education little realize the many benefits that they are to derive therefr. in. Me- states that tlu- schedule does not consist of such an amount of work as to be exhaustive but just enough to build up tin physical side of thi' young men and give them a new zest of living and an added stimulus to do better in all classes of school and other .activities. One of the points that Coach Walker laid great stress upon, is the fact that students will be allowed to indulge themselves in whatever line of sport they are most desirous of participating in. None of the beys, said he. would have to engage in any athletic diversion for which they had not first expressed a desire. Hut what Coach Walker drew especial attention to. is the basketball game Miami University has offered to the Loyola frosh, Miami agreeing to paj expenses and furnish accommodations i r a squad of ten. The game, if accepted, will be played on Miami's own battleground. This offer, reiterated Coach Walker several times, should excite quite a bit of enthusiasm among the tirst year men who are coming out for athletic training.

Plans are also being completed tDD make the annual boat ride one of tlnmost colorful in the history ot the university. These boat rides have always found favor with the student body, and it is expected to surpass the records of all previous years. Another event of great interest is the handball tournament which will take place sometime in the near future. Each department has been instructed to begin elimination in preparation for the tournament.
